ART

Brooklyn made the Spring art show last year and was thrilled.  Her goal this year was to make the Rodeo Art Show in her district.  We have been getting updates almost every Monday night telling us what she is doing for her project, what was going right and what she felt were huge mistakes!  Her teacher, Miss Dickerson, read a poem to them about a red cow that had meadow flowers in her mouth and guided the kids through a drawing.  They all used the medium of watercolor.  She was so upset one day when she said that she put the head in the middle and ran out of room for the body so she had to smush up the body.  She also said it was a HUGE mistake when she dropped a drop of red paint on the green grass.  We were so excited when we got the certificate and invitation to visit the Rodeo Art Exhibit in Klein where her art would be displayed.  Her art went to the district contest where they were all judged by local judges and given blue, red, white ribbons, black ribbons for finalists to go to the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo, and best in show awards which were moving to the next level.  We were joined by all of the Lewis side of the family and almost all of the Alford side of the family to see her red cow!  She entitled her work IZZY.  We were even more thrilled to see the blue ribbon attached to her work!  She is truly an artist!
